Man, I was strugling in pvp as a non skilled player till I start usying SNS Spear in Heavy. So good to actually do damage with the spear and dont dye too quickly. Thx so much and keep the great work!
Great video. Thanks for all the info. I need to greatly improve my PvP as I always just did solo stuff. This very helpful. I actually made a short once of you kicking my butt in an influence race lol. I think it is time for me to up my PvP game. I have been doing a heavy SnS with rapier and it seems to be working well at least against mid tier players. Thanks again for the video.
7:28 it wasn't, freedom doesn't affect stagger or knockdown. If you get staggered or knocked down twice in a short time you get a free getup. Blocking works but you can also do a light dodge roll for no stamina even in heavy in that situation.
@@mauricedouglas904 our s&s bar designed for dealing against ranged. More of those examples in other videos. The gap closer, sure footing and keen speed help a lot 😁
Can you please explain why Elem. Aversion and not enchanted ward? Why would one want be protected only from ranged attacks and not from melee ones as well even in heavy. It just doesn't feel right.
Ranged damage is much more than light attacks/autos. So is elemental aversion. Enchanted ward is great too but not helping against the abilities from the lightning bow, flamethrower, fire ball, abilities, etc. melee users aren’t much a concern to me and are mitigated by other means. I build to try to control what I can’t in a fight and that’s the guys a mile away lol
I see. Nice. Just thought it might have been a good addition in the video to explain why. maybe a future video on how you control the guys miles away?😂 @@Nyce-Gaming
Im still a huge believe in heavy over medium this season even if you arent using sns. In wars as a bruiser the heavy feels really nice wifh the shirking fort and freedom benefits you get when you run heavy!
Totally get that! It’s still good and defenitely viable with sword/flail for sure. I think I’d just rather do a void dark plate or feather weight spec maybe. I got some buddies that are shieldless n heavy and do great. Shirking fort and shirking heals in heavy = 🔥
Crazy that youre still replying to messages. 2 questions. At 7:50, what made you heal all of that? Also, when ur using the GS, you sometimes dont enter the guard stance after using an ability. Is there some sort of tech for that? Thx
@@ceasarmusk7088 yea changed it to red via in game settings and it’s been much easier aiming during combat since. And idk I just put a lot of thought into my theorycrafts lol
I used to always run Leadership but switched to Defensive Formation based on your recommendation and I like it a lot. I just switched Shield Rush for Defenders Resolve though, so still getting used to it. I see that you like to fully upgrade Shield Bash. I'm not sure the extra 25% dmg & 1sec stun is worth it to me though, considering the ability doesn't do much dmg anyway and they usually get knocked right out of the stun. Have you considered using the extra 2pts in Elemental Resistance & Counter Attack? I like those better personally.
Yea I’ve just found my spec works best and most my damage not on the sns bar so don’t prefer counter attack. That extra second is huuuuuge on shield bash. I should always be flanking to crit and it’s the longest stun in the game
@@MrChillah91 oh no, it’s perfectly fine! It’s not your fault , I should have said “see description” when recording and trust me I’ve gotten this comment 10x on this video lol. Let me know if you need details on anything 😁
Of course. Hammer - hatred , sundering clear out. Last can be trenchant rend or refreshing move. Taunt gem of course. Sword and shield refreshing move hated as well. 3rd perk can be whatever. Body pretty much the same. Void dark plate or the wall is best artifacts by far. Then of course health and aversions are best and grit ward. Conditions and. Enchanted too. Gems depending on the dungeon. 200 strength rest in con. Flail I rarely use as much but same principals. Also for sword find space for fortifying shield rush
I can understand putting 100 points into dex for gs build for the 5% damage crit chance and base damage buff, but the follow up nodes seem pointless your extra 100 points in strength would get you 33% stam regen and 7% extra damage while under 90% health so surely you'd benefit more from 300 strength 100 dex
@@justdroppingby7383 not correct. None of those nodes are more beneficial than the raw base damage added via split stats on gs. It’s a unique weapon in that it essentially has a practical 50-50 attribute roi up to these break points of diminishing returns. Hope this makes sense. At the point of this video at least. If aeternun changed things I’ll see
@@justdroppingby7383 typically so yes. Best shown on target dummies. Someone actually confirmed this in a vid for me a while back. I remember yt searching “nw best great sword attributes” I’ll have to look at if new benchmarks make it worth it, but for raw consistency in best dmg 200-200-200 best set up assuming you want 200 con minimum
Its odd because i see no change in stats if i do 100% str to 50/50 str/dex in base damage for my GS, i only see sns dps fall off with str/dex build as it 90/65 scaling. Ill have to wait then test it on a dummy as you say. There isn't softcap scaling in this game is there? If there is it'll explain alot.
Those aren’t my attributes. I was showcasing multiple builds in this video and had no food buff. All attributes are detailed thoroughly in description 😁
There’s no way I’ve gotten this comment this many times 😞 I never even went over attributes in this video. They are detailed for each build in the description per the pinned comment
So I used to use ankh like in my videos from this season, but have decided to stop using it since it’s upcoming nerf next patch. And actually since then I’ve preferred it with the bigger potion heal and especially with potion heals increasing next patch. Ankh will no longer work with lifesteal next patch
Yea I haven’t needed to guarantee shield bash. Just good timing :) I don’t think I would’ve gotten like 70% of x’s this year without defenders resolve tbh and the clips support that. I feel naked without it lol
I was thinking of doing health/shirking fort/freedom on my non artifact pieces. Will be awhile to get pieces like that to test since I'm perpetually broke 😅
Shirking fort and shirking heals are both really good. I just rarely prioritize them. In my spear build I dodge a lot more and would definitely consider shirking fort
Bro - love your stuff - and I know you roll 200x 3 for your Dex/str builds, but I didn’t see you GA/WH attribute points. I was running 300 con, 25 dex and all else str. I feel tanky, but not enough dps. What do you run?

Magnetic gauntlets is only good on ig vg builds. Void dark plate for heavy bruisers. Heavy armor has no place in 3v3 arena unless youre only fighting light players. I can chill as a healer when heavies attack me bc they are the least impactful. Everybody ignores them until last
yer on the normal arena but heavy on the platform and hammer clear is good if people whant to ignore their let them i bet milj don´t have chans to to get 3 heavy with hammer controlling the top to end
Idk. I tend to have a fair amount of success in arenas and heavy all I really play. Healers are strong no matter who attacks them . As far as magnetic gauntlets, they are great for vg and great axe imo. Void dark plate is indeed great 👍
been a tank since the beginning of the game... people always message me why r u tank? ur gonna get fucked by the meta Musket time, Meta Bruiser Time, Meta Bow Time, Like sheeeeeeeeeeeesh... now I encounter more heavy mains 😅
With a heavy build you need to survive as long as possible. I don’t think that with your build that will be possible. To many focus on movement speed and no focus on absorption. My heavy build have 3600 psychical and 3100 elemental absorption. With 55 % slash absorption. 40 % thrust absorption and indeed a lot of fortify perks. Also 24 % enhanced ward. I got bloodrinker to, and use the axe for mobility. You are a pve player?
@@Traveler2393 You’re new to my channel huh? I mained this game for quite a while, feel free to check my outnumbered pvp in this video or others. It’s ok to have different ideologies and perks on your build but asking if I’m a pve player kinda made u seem like a hater 😆
@ hey did you ever check how old this video was before commenting? Everyone knows that’s the go to heavy set, but that wasn’t even released at the time of this video. Either way there are alternatives to gear if you can’t get that expedition done and alternative playstyles. Hope this helps
I'm thinking about using the fridgid dawn set together with some conditioning perks. Then shield with resolve, sturdy fort and slash ward. Hope it's gonna be as tanky as I hope it will be. Not sure if I go for voidplate or freedom pants tho. Defenitly going for blooddrinker + Serenity tho
I have slowed down to 0 when it comes to builds to much is shanging in the game atm and to much is comming for s4 i whant some stabilty witch we don´t have atm nothing worse then aim for somting that gets nerfed to oblivion few weeks later.
Yea it can be very disappointing and discouraging. Plus crafting ain’t cheap! It’s why I never did shirking heals all patch . I knew it was so strong that it’d constantly be changed or nerfed. Turns out I was right lol
Heavy playas r so creaming rite now.. heavy has never been this strong. except maybe partialy on launch(voidbent etc) im a lite melee assasin, for years now, but even dex/flex are starting to go heavy now. Due to many changes as well as having more attribute points, u can do almost as much damage as a light playa, but have like 3x the defence/tankyness. for the longest time i have stuck to light melee, cuz im a masochist. but i needed to do arenas with serentiy, to unlock the quests etc.. had just been tanking in expedition, so went in arena heavy, and was blown away how it was.. was like i changed the difficulty by multiple lvs. for a whole variety of reasons. its kinda hard to ignore the heavy meta now. even like my fav lie melee streamers(whelps) r going heavy in their dex/flex/assasin roles.. crazy. Im not hating tho.. and we have had way worse and more unbalanced states in pvp. im really curious how this will develop, and where the meta will go. S4 changed so much, and then all the changes since, ..and since in NW u actually have to test every thing out urself, to see if and how it works.. the meta is still being discovered, and the changes came faster then we the community could develop. i wonder where ags will go next with "balance". i wish there was sumone up top who had a complete vision, of how the game shud be.. atm they seem to just jump around to try n please whoever is screaming/crying the loudest
Yea I’ve been heavy since day one and seeing more ppl go heavy especially those who use to laugh at me and call me a tank even with 200 con is hilarious. I think you’re right. The extra 100 attributes opened up so much. Like being able to go 300 con but still have 300 strength is crazy. I think getting damage in heavy is now easier. Yes light and medium still have more damage BUT heavy no longer sacrifices as much for damage while staying tanky. I feel medium needs its reduced dodge cost back. That’s a good start
Lmao lowkey I think that’s my next goal! Medium great axe or medium serenity. Thooo medium hammer with stop watch sounds good cause the 10% canceled out by medium 🤔
@@Nyce-Gaming Mmmmmmk lol just remember you can't take as much damage for trades which in turn, lowers your DPS output, but I digress, grit ward could remedy a good portion of that though
@@RobinUnknwn yea grit ward helps. I tried medium 2 weeks ago for 2 days and felt good with unugraded gauntlets. The hop felt good. Think I’ll try kite shield next but round shield felt fine

Yea I’ve been heavy since day one and seeing more ppl go heavy especially those who use to laugh at me and call me a tank even with 200 con is hilarious. I think you’re right. The extra 100 attributes opened up so much. Like being able to go 300 con but still have 300 strength is crazy. I think getting damage in heavy is now easier. Yes light and medium still have more damage BUT heavy no longer sacrifices as much for damage while staying tanky. I feel medium needs its reduced dodge cost back. That’s a good start
Now teach me medium lol
Edit: Because moreso idfk what I'm doing anymore 🤣
Lmao lowkey I think that’s my next goal! Medium great axe or medium serenity. Thooo medium hammer with stop watch sounds good cause the 10% canceled out by medium 🤔
@@Nyce-Gaming Just don't go 300 con with it medium. Been there, done that, need more damage lol
@@RobinUnknwn idk 300 300 definitely the go to. Especially with grit ward. It’s damaging enough even in heavy
@@Nyce-Gaming Mmmmmmk lol just remember you can't take as much damage for trades which in turn, lowers your DPS output, but I digress, grit ward could remedy a good portion of that though
@@RobinUnknwn yea grit ward helps. I tried medium 2 weeks ago for 2 days and felt good with unugraded gauntlets. The hop felt good. Think I’ll try kite shield next but round shield felt fine
yep fk this tank meta.. they need -30% dmg on heavy
I’d lowkey just like them to buff medium. But a -10% could work
Shrinking heal meta and nothing counter this. Join dark side.
I may have to do this lol especially with dark matter being easier to obtain
Stiil got last perk on scorpion unperked, can’t decide 🫠
I went with plagued crits yesterday. Keenly jagged super good too
